THE  HOLY  COMMUMON 


This  solemn  service  is  opened  by  singing  some 
verges  expressive  of  a  penitent,  contrite  heart, 
after  wliieh  a  prayer  for  absolution  is  ofiered  up. 
The  congregation  rising,  a  verse  is  sung,  and  the 
bread  is  consecrated  by  pronouncing  the  Words 
of  Institution  : 

"Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  tliD  same  night  in  which  he  was 
hetiaj'ed  took  bread,  and  when  he  had  given  fhaiiVs  he  brake 
it,  and  gave  it  to  liis  disciples  and  said:  'Take,  eat;  this  is 
my  body,  which  is  given  for  y^ii.  This  do  in  remembrance 
of   me.'  ■' 

The  consecrated  bread  is  then  distributed  by 
the  minister  and  his  assistants,  among  the  com- 
municants, during  the  singing  of  hymns,  treat- 
ing principally  of  the  sufferings  and  death  of 
our  Lord,  After  all  the  communicants  have 
received  the  bread,  the  minister  repeats  the 
words : 

'■Our  Lord  Jerus  Chri-t  said:  'Take,  eat;  this  is  my  body, 
which    i-i   given   for  you.'"' 

The  congregation  then  jiartakeall  at  the  same 
time,  kneeling,  either  in  silence,  or  while  a  verse 
is  sung  expressive  of  the  solemn  act. 


THE    HOLY    COMMUNION. 


The  congregation  rising,  verses  of  thanksgiv- 
ing are  sung,  after  which  the  minister  conse- 
crates the  wine,  by  pronouncing  the  words : 

"After  the  name  manner  also  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  took  the 
eup,  when  he  had  supped,  gave  thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them, 
saj'ing:  'Drink  ye  all  of  it;  this  is  my  blood,  the  blood  of  the 
new  testament,  which  is  shed  for  you  and  for  many,  for  the 
remission  of  sins.  This  do  yo,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remem- 
brance of  me.'"' 

The  minister  then  partaking  of  the  con- 
secrated cup,  delivers  it  to  his  assistants,  by 
whom  it  is  administered  to  the  congregation  ; 
during  which  hymns  are  sung,  treating  of  the 
remission  of  sins  in  the  blood  of  Jesus,  and  its 
healing  and  sanctifying  power.  The  service  is 
continued  with  hymns  treating  of  brotherly 
love,  communion  with  Christ,  and  thankfulness 
for  his  incarnation,  sufferings  and  death,  and 
concluded  with  the  benediction.

Great  tlie  feast  to  wliich  thou,  Lord,  hast  bidden 

Sucli  a  worthless  guest  as  me  ; 
'Tis  an  awful  mystery,  deep  and  hidden, 

^Tis  a  heavenly  legacy  : 
Contrite  souls,  howe'er  by  sin  infected, 
Are  made  welcome,  not  one  is  rejected  ; 
Else  this  grace  to  sinful  me 
Never  could  extended  be.

Who  may  feast  and  take  their  fill ; 
Thou  to  grant  thy  heavenly  gifts  art  ready, 

And  thy  goodness  to  reveal :

Gain  from  thee,  the  Bread  of  life,  nutrition
